Why AR Murugaodss came on board for 1947 August 16?
Producer AR Murugadoss says, “1947 – August 16 is an ambitious and honest story that I came across. It is a significant and heart touching piece of work that demanded to be told and heard. This will stay with you forever once you see it.” Director N.S. Ponkumar says, “This is not a story about a freedom struggle, but a group of innocent villagers understanding “What is Freedom”? One among them is the protagonist, who is always aggressive and furious, a heroine with a yearning heart, people who laugh out sarcastically about their problems, and old-aged elderly couple in love. The story revolving around these characters is narrated with emotional essence and a gripping screenplay”
